The driver exposes v4l devices as Xv ports. It is not a conventional ddx and doesn't allow you to run X on your v4l device. It's basically a helper module so that the v4l devices can stream data directly to an Xv buffer in GPU accessible memory, saving some memcpys when displaying video from the v4l device.

I have a TV card. I just enabled the v4l module in my xorg.conf. When starting X, I only get a blank screen and the system freezes. Need to reboot though SysRq.
Is there something else I'm supposed to be doing other than loading the "v4l" module?
